Chapter 246: The Queen's Ruthlessness
Tian Qiniang said, threw a ball of cloth in his hand to Jun Xiachen, the cloth was soft, floating to the ground in mid-air, Jun Xiachen hurriedly caught up a few steps, bent down to pick up the cloth, unfolded it, and scolded in his heart: Jiang Mengji, this stupid talent, told him to watch the old fox, how can he still pass the blood book out!
Jun Xiachen thought in his heart, but he made a look of shock and grievance on his face, and said: This is ...... I don't know! Maybe this uncle is afraid of death and knows that the king has always favored him, so he ...... The grievance is false, the plea is true, I hope the king will be soft-hearted and spare his life!
Could that be the case? Uncle Guan hopes to get the mercy of the old woman in the name of complaining?
Tian Qiniang hesitated, Pei Su looked at Jun Xiachen, glanced at Tian Qiniang again, gently closed his eyes, and said softly: Zhongcheng has always been loyal to state affairs, and he is the arm that the king can trust. However, if the prime minister complains, if the king does not ask, it will not only hinder the reputation of the king, but also hinder him when he comes to Zhongcheng......
Tian Qiniang turned her head and asked, "What is Xiao Xuan's opinion?"
Pei Kun said: Why didn't the king mention that Guan Bo and others came to the palace to ask in person?
When these words came out, Jun Xiachen sighed in his heart, and his heart was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his mouth. immediately pretended to be aggrieved and said: The manager is wrong! The imperial court has its own laws, so how can there be a reason to personally try the prisoners with the dignity of the king? Where does this act set the law of the state? Where are the three priests placed? As soon as this example is opened, future kings can follow suit and intervene in the judiciary at any time.
……
The two of them were arguing here, and Tian Qiniang's energy gradually declined. I felt upset, so I said: Okay, okay, you two don't tell the old woman about the ancients. So be it. The old woman sent an official to the prison to see if she had been tortured. Xiao Hai sent a decree and ordered Zhu Qing, the doctor of prison to go to Taiwan Prison to inspect whether the detained officials had been punished.
Slave Command!
Xiao Hai withdrew from the palace, Jun Xiachen's eyes rolled, and he said: Even if the king does not summon his ministers today. The minister also came to the palace to report, and someone broke into the prison last night and tried to rob the prison!
Tian Qiniang was taken aback when she heard this. A little tiredness was swept away, and he hurriedly asked: Someone dares to rob the prison?
Jun Xia Chen said: Yes! I am afraid that there are no less than a few people who come, all of them are very skillful, and they are killing in the deacon's court. Later, a large number of guards were alarmed before they fled. They killed ten jailers and wounded ...... There was no one, and the attack was extremely vicious......
Jun Xia Chen said, and suddenly remembered what a guard commander who had experienced last night's prison robbery had said to him: Zhongcheng, although that person has covered up, he can be judged that he is a great master, and his skills are extremely high. It's almost enchanting! Suddenly, lightning flashed and thundered, and suddenly there was a soft wind and drizzle. Like the venom of a serpent......
Jun Xia Chen said: But I don't know who this person is, which official he infiltrated the prison to save and escape, this person's martial arts are so high, if the target is me, it is really worrying, I hired a few close masters, I don't know if it is this person's opponent? When I get back, I'll have to hire some more martial arts masters to protect me!"
Pei Kun was secretly thinking about how to use Uncle Guan to make a big fuss, it doesn't matter if he can't save Uncle Guan and the others, at least he has to bail Yao'er out, when he heard Jun Xiachen's words, he was like ice and snow, and his heart was cold: Someone robbed the prison? This sucks!
Tian Qiniang was really furious, and shouted loudly: Even the Taiwan Prison dares to rob, and kills many tolerances, it is simply lawless!
If it weren't for Xiaohai who had already gone to pass on the decree, Tian Qiniang wouldn't even want to send someone to Taiwan Prison to investigate whether anyone had been tortured, and someone would have ignored the law of the country and blatantly robbed the prison and killed so many public people, do these people still have the royal law in their hearts? There are no less than a few people who go to rob prisons, what does this mean? It shows that they really have a co-party, a group of lawless comrades, and is there any suspicion of rebellion?
After a while, Zhu Qing, the superintendent doctor, hurried to Tongquetai and left with Jun Xiachen.
Doctor Jiandi, as the name suggests, is a minister who specially conveys the will of the king, and the king decrees, the will of various places in the palace is mostly conveyed by the eunuchs in the palace, and most of the affairs involving the yamen outside the palace are carried out by the doctor.
Doctor Zhu Qing and Jun Xiachen arrived in Taiwan Prison, and Jun Xiachen said with a spring breeze on his face: Master Zhu, please sit down in the hall for a while, rest for a while, and the official will take you to inspect the prisoner again.
In the face of this king's favored minister, the famous living king of Yama in the capital, Zhu Qing was worried in his heart, how dare he not agree, and hurriedly only chattered, accompanied by Jun Xiachen to enter the hall and sit down to rest, and the subordinate brought a cold drink in time, and there were two plates of dried fruits, and Jun Xiachen and he pulled up.
Taking advantage of this, Wei Suizhong and Jiang Mengji, who had been ordered by Jun Xiachen, hurriedly got busy, just like Mu Shangxuan's visit that day, they reformed the appearance of Yao'er's cell in advance, and then hurriedly dressed up Guan Bo and other ministers.
In the lobby, Jun Xiachen and Zhu Qing sat as the guest of honor, chatting and laughing.
Jun Xia Chen said: On that day, the general Cai Hu roared in court, intending to hurt Ben Zhongcheng, but he was hacked to death by the official's guards, which can be regarded as deserved. Yes! His head fell at your feet at that time, and when I think about it today, I still remember it vividly.
Yes!
Lord Zhu was startled, his feet suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but feel cold when he thought of the bloody scene of a great general being hacked alive just a few days ago, and his head fell in front of his feet.
At this time, a deacon walked into the lobby and whispered a few words in Jun Xiachen's ear, Jun Xiachen got up and said: Doctor Zhu has the emperor's order, and it is not good to delay for too long, let's go.
Zhu Qing was relieved and hurriedly said: Okay, good!
The two of them walked out of the lobby and walked to the backyard, and as soon as they were halfway through, someone locked up an unkempt prisoner over, and the prisoner saw Zhu Qing, babbling and screaming, Zhu Qing looked at it, couldn't help but be surprised, and shouted: Father-in-law Fan!
It turned out that the prisoner who was escorted was actually Fan Yunxian, the chief of the inner chamberlain, Zhu Qing was a doctor who often walked in the palace, so he naturally recognized him, Fan Yunxian kept babbling, but unfortunately his tongue was cut off, and he couldn't say a word.
Jun Xiachen's face did not change and said: Doctor Zhu recognizes him? This man was the chief attendant, and the magistrate in the court asked him to confess his crimes. But he knew no one. It is really unreasonable to only talk about how wise the ancestors were, and scold my king for being mediocre. In a fit of rage, the official cut off his tongue. Well, the king also knows about this, but he reprimanded me a few times, saying that I shouldn't be like a villain, hehe! The official was also angry at the time, and when he heard him insult Jinshang. I couldn't help it.
Zhu Qing answered twice, and his face turned a little blue.
Behind the prison, that is, in front of the row of small rooms of different heights and sizes where Yao'er and the others were held. It was an open field, and it was rare that there was no rain at this time, and many prisoners were shackling on the open field.
Zhu Qing Youjun's subordinates accompanied him to the opposite corridor and stood still, looking ahead. I saw that Li Xingzhi, Wu Sizhu and others were all wearing official clothes. Wearing an official hat. Walking there with figure-eight steps, Guan Bo was wearing a soft and comfortable Taoist uniform, standing there with his hands in his hands and looking around.
Ouyang Zhen and a few officials were sitting on a few big trees lying horizontally by the wall, talking about something, looking leisurely. This was the first time these officials were released today, and those like Ouyang Zhen and others who were injured and couldn't even move easily, so they were carried out and let them sit there.
Will Jun Xiachen be kind enough to let them go? Even if it's a release. Why force them to dress up? Some of these officials wore only small clothes because of the sweltering heat in prison. Some of them have injuries on their bodies, and no one gives them dressings, so they don't dare to wear clothes for fear that the affected area will rot, so they can only barehead their backs.
These ministers were all promoted step by step from petty officials and petty officials, and they knew at a glance that they had sent someone from the imperial court to inspect such a deceptive behavior. They remained silent, at the mercy of Wei Suizhong and others, one by one they seemed to stretch their bodies leisurely, looking far away and distracting, in fact, they had already observed in all directions, and since Jun Xiachen made such an arrangement, someone would definitely come.
Ouyang Xin's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw a few officials appear under the corridor in the distance, one in a red robe was Jun Xiachen, and a few in green robes next to him, among the officials in green robes, Jiang Mengjie and Wei Suizhong knew each other, and another person was wearing the green robe of a low-level official, but he was standing side by side with Jun Xiachen, and it was clearly not his subordinate.
Ouyang Zhen immediately shouted: It's coming!
Under the corridor, Jun Xiachen pointed to those officials and said: Every day, this official will arrange for them to come out for activities and releases, this is a batch, and there will be a second batch in a while.
Treat unjustly! We have been wronged! Please angels play the Son of Heaven, we are wronged!
Detained officials rushed towards us. The deacons who had been lying in ambush on the side for a long time saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward with wind and fire sticks to block them, and the officials pushed and shoved, but it was difficult to break through their defenses, so they could only jump and shout: Which angel is coming? We were tortured to extract confessions, and we were wronged, so please be sure to play the Son of Heaven......
They shouted. Jun Xiachen's face immediately changed, and his gaze immediately stabbed at Zhu Qing like a blade. Zhu Qing shuddered and hurriedly turned around. He didn't look at the heads of the officials who were jumping up behind the wall-like officials, but only fixed his eyes firmly on the eaves of an official room in front of him.
Jun Xiachen stared closely, looking at his cramped expression and tight cheeks. The sweat on his forehead was slightly dripping, and he suddenly showed a hint of a feminine smile, and said with a gentle smile: "Doctor Zhu, as far as you can see, have the officials ever abused these prisoners?"
Zhu Qing's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said in a sneering voice: No...... No......
Jun Xia Chen said: These prisoners are not free except for their movements, and they are in this prison as usual, and the confessions they confess are all admitted by themselves, and none of them are tortured to each other, what does Dr. Zhu think?
Zhu Qing grinned, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said: Yes, what Zhongcheng said is very true!
Which angel is coming, please return to the Son of Heaven, we have been wronged! We have been wronged!
The shouts of injustice continued, but Jun Xiachen turned a deaf ear, and said with a smile: Doctor Zhu, please come here.
Jun Xia Chen accompanied Zhu Qing to turn around and walk back, and said leisurely: When today's son becomes the emperor as a daughter, it is an unprecedented event, and there are always people who are not convinced! What kind of is to say 'Chicken Si Chen, only the family is the rope'! If only it is a matter of words, but there are always those who are not dead in their hearts and want to drive the king down from this throne.
yes, yes......
In fact, Junchen came from a humble background, neither a courtier nor a highly educated person, does Dr. Zhu know why this official can be reused by the king?
For...... Why?
Because of loyalty! Because I am a handsome minister, in fact, I am a dog beside the king, who takes care of the house and the courtyard for the king, and if anyone has bad intentions towards the king, I will be responsible for biting him, biting him to death, not only to bite to death, but also to bite him miserably. In this way, others will be afraid, and there will be fewer people who dare to mess with the king, so the king needs an eagle dog like me, and he can't do without an eagle dog like me. And an eagle dog like me is also willing to cling to the king and serve the king wholeheartedly! Hahahaha......
Zhu Qing said with a smile: Hehehehe......
Jun Xiachen suddenly smiled, and said gloomily: Doctor Zhu smiled so happily, he must have understood what he said?
Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, nodded like garlic and said: Understood! I know, I know, I know! Xia Guan understood......
Jun Xiachen put his hands behind his back, raised his head and laughed: Hahahaha......
Tian Qiniang returned to the dormitory and slept for more than an hour before she woke up, she was old, and her consciousness was still a little unclear when she woke up, she leaned on the couch, and came out of her mind in a daze, and asked Tuan'er to accompany her for a conversation before she woke up. At this time, Tuan'er said: "King, Zhu Qing, the doctor of the prison has returned, and he is waiting for the decree outside the palace.
Oh? Help the old woman to get up and change her clothes!
Although Tian Qiniang didn't want to move at this time, and the other party was just a small prison doctor, so it didn't hurt to see him, but Tian Qiniang still had to get up, in front of the courtiers, she had to maintain her majesty, solemnity and spirit, she didn't want the courtiers to see a little old.
Zhu Qing waited for a long time, and finally waited for the order of the meeting, he lowered his head and walked into the empty and deep hall on tiptoe, thinking about the head of the general, thinking about the tongue of the chief of the chamberlain, Fan Gonggong, and thinking about the eagle dog theory of Jun Xiachen, and finally made up his mind.
Tian Qiniang sat majestically behind the case and asked in a deep voice: How did the old woman ask you to investigate?
Zhu Qing bowed and said: "Echo the king, after the inspection of the ministers, the detained officials...... He was not tortured to extract a confession.
Oh......
Tian Qiniang's face darkened, and the hall was quiet and terrifying for a while. After a while, Zhu Qingcai swallowed his saliva and said stubbornly: Everyone should commit a crime, and they all admit the crime, and now their "Xie Death Table" is here, and the minister is entrusted by Zhongcheng to present it on his behalf!
Zhu Qing touched the notebook from his sleeve and raised it up.
Before the waiter took it and sent it to Tian Qiniang's case, Tian Qiniang took the "Xie Death Table", read it silently, and said with a bleak face: The old woman treats people with sincerity, but in exchange for always bad retribution! Hehe, it's nothing more than cutting off a few more heads! Sent a decree to Jun Xiachen, and the criminals will be hanged and abandoned for three days!
……
All executions?
Be!
Mrs. Mu received an affirmative answer, stood up anxiously, and thought to herself: I have to hurry!
She walked back and forth in the hall twice, suddenly stopped, and said to Lu Mingming: Change clothes, I want to enter the palace to meet the king! (To be continued......)
